ABSTRACT  M0N 

This  study  discusses  the  development  of  a  computer 
program  capable  of  performing  the  necessary  dynamic  computa- 
tions to  obtain  estimates  of  the  transports  of  mass,  salt, 
and  heat  across  the  vertical  cross  section  at  ^0°N  within 
the  North  Atlantic  Ocean.   Previous  studies  have  used  either 
different  approaches  to  the  problem  or,  if  the  same  approach 
was  used,  then  the  data  were  averaged  to  eliminate  seasonal 
effects. 

Temperature  and  salinity  data  from  Crawford  Cruise  16, 
2  to  22  October  1957  of  the  International  Geophysical  Year, 
are  used  for  the  entire  cross  section  of  ocean.   These  observa- 
tions provide  data  that  are  both  homogeneous  and  consistent. 

General  interpolation  methods  are  evaluated  for  deter- 
mining the  temperature  and  salinity  observations  at  standard 
depths.   A  combination  of  linear  and  mean  parabolic  interpola- 
tion methods  is  found  to  be  the  most  accurate  method  of 
estimating  the  continuous  vertical  temperature  and  salinity 
profiles  at  each  station. 

The  velocity  estimates  are  obtained  for  the  cross  section 
by  the  classical  dynamic  method.   A  level  of  no  motion  is 
established  where  there  is  a  balance  of  the  net  transports  of 
mass  and  salt. 

Based  on  this  level  of  no  motion,  a  heat  transport  figure 
is  obtained  that  compares  favorably  with  those  of  earlier 
studies  by  Sverdrup,  Jung,  and  Budyko.

I.   INTRODUCTION 

It  has  long  been  recognized  that  the  earth  and  its 
atmosphere  receive  a  surplus  of  heat  at  the  equator  and  lose 
more  heat  at  the  poles  than  is  received  from  the  sun.   Since 
the  poles  of  this  system  are  not  becoming  progressively 
colder,  nor  the  equatorial  regions  progressively  warmer, 
there  must  be  a  transfer  mechanism  within  the  system  that 
transports  heat  from  the  equatorial  regions  to  the  poleward 
regions  of  the  earth.   The  excess  heat  lost  at  the  earth's 
poles  is  balanced  by  a  meridional  transfer  of  heat  from 
low  latitudes  in  both  the  atmosphere  and  the  oceans.   How 
this  heat  transfer  is  partitioned  between  the  atmosphere 
and  the  oceans  still  remains  a  question  although  a  number 
of  studies  have  considered  this  problem  in  recent  years 
(Sverdrup,  1957;  Budyko,  1956;  Jung,  1955;  Bryan,  1962). 

Jung  (1952)  was  one  of  the  first  to  point  out  that  the 
ocean  currents  might  be  of  greater  significance  in  trans- 
ferring heat  energy  than  had  been  previously  assumed.   He 
made  an  extensive  study  (1955)  in  an  attempt  to  clarify 
how  heat  is  transported  by  deep  ocean  currents  in  the  North 
Atlantic  Ocean.   This  investigation  was  one  of  the  first 
attempts  to  compute  heat  transport  based  on  geostrophic 
calculations  from  hydrographic  data. 

As  stated  by  Bryan  (1962)  only  the  derivative  of  the 
geostrophic  velocity  with  respect  to  depth  can  be  computed 


11 


directly  from  hydrographic  data.   To  determine  the  velocity 
itself  an  integration  must  be  carried  out,  which  in  turn 
presents  the  problem  of  choosing  the  correct  constant  of 
integration.   The  selection  of  a  level  of  no  motion  at  which 
the  geostrophic  velocity  is  set  equal  to  zero  is  usually 
identified  with  this  constant. 

The  identification  of  this  level  of  least  water  movement 
in  the  oceans  still  remains  a  problem  today.   Different 
scientists  have  devised  various  methods  for  determining  this 
level,  none  of  which  work  in  all  cases.   A  discussion  of 
these  various  techniques  is  included  in  the  next  section. 

The  magnitudes  of  the  transports  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat 
when  based  on  geostrophic  calculations  are  indirectly  related 
to  the  choice  of  the  level  of  no  motion  through  the  conver- 
sion of  the  derivative  of  geostrophic  velocity  to  the  velocity 
itself.   Since  the  object  of  this  study  is  to  compute  the 
transports  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat  across  a  particular  lati- 
tude section  within  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean,  considerable 
effort  has  been  devoted  to  the  establishment  of  the  criteria 
for  determining  a  satisfactory  level  of  no  motion.

II.   BACKGROUND 

A.   HEAT  TRANSPORT 

The  important  mechanisms  are  the  transport  of  sensible 
and  latent  heat  by  the  atmosphere  and  the  transport  of 
sensible  heat  by  the  ocean.   Scientific  opinions  have  fluc- 
tuated over  the  years  as  to  whether  the  ocean  or  the  atmos- 
phere is  the  principle  contributor  to  heat  transport. 

According  to  Neumann  et  al.  (1966)  such  noted  scientists 
as  Maury  (1856)  and  Ferrel  (1890)  expressed  views  that  the 
ocean  has  the  predominant  role  in  transporting  excess  heat 
from  the  equatorial  regions  to  the  polar  regions  of  the 
earth.   Angstrom,  in  1925,  estimated  that  the  ocean  trans- 
ported an  amount  of  heat  equal  to  that  transported  by  the 
atmosphere.   Others,  including  Bjerknes  et  al.  (1933)  and 
Sverdrup  et  al.  (19^2)  expressed  agreement  that  the  atmos- 
phere predominated  in  the  poleward  transport  of  heat  and 
that  the  ocean  was  relatively  insignificant.   Sverdrup, 
however,  suggested  that  in  certain  areas  heat  transport  by 
ocean  currents  could  be  of  importance. 

Neumann  et  al .  (1966)  wrote:   "The  atmosphere  appears 
to  be  doing  the  lion's  share  of  the  heat  transport.   How- 
ever, an  appreciable  part  of  the  transport  is  latent  heat, 
and  the  latent  heat  transport  increases  from  a  value  near 
zero  at  about  20°N  to  I)  x  101   cal/sec  at  40°N.   This  latent 
heat  was  taken  from  the  oceans  by  the  air,  thus  decreasing 


13 


the  store  of  heat  in  the  ocean  and  increasing  the  total 
heat  of  the  air.   The  ocean  should  be  credited  with  carrying 
this  heat  to  points  where  it  is  available  to  the  atmosphere 
for  a  further  transport  poleward.   If  the  latent  heat  at  40°N 
is  credited  to  the  ocean,  this,  plus  the  sensible  heat  trans- 
ported by  the  ocean,  accounts  for  half  of  the  total  required 
by  radiation  theory. 

"The  oceans  are  thus  important  in  bringing  about  this 
required  balance  through  both  the  evaporation-precipitation 
mechanism  and  the  actual  transport  of  sensible  heat." 

The  present  investigation  is  interested  only  in  the 
magnitude  of  transport  of  sensible  heat  by  ocean  currents 
across  the  vertical  cross  section  of  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean 
at  40°N. 

B.   DETERMINATION  OF  THE  LEVEL  OP  NO  MOTION 

The  importance  of  determining  an  accurate  level  of  no 
motion  for  the  computation  of  the  transports  of  mass,  salt, 
and  heat  by  the  dynamic  method  has  been  stated  previously. 
Until  the  present  no  universal  method  has  been  devised  that 
works  in  all  cases.   Most  of  the  methods  developed  in  the 
last  60  years  for  determining  the  level  of  no  motion  are 
indirect  approaches  which  try  to  find  a  characteristic  that 
relates  to  minimum  motion  in  some  water  layer. 

Sverdrup  et  al.  (1942)  recommended  that  the  "zero"  sur- 
face in  the  ocean  be  determined  by  comparing  water  discharges 


14 


computed  by  the  dynamic  method  from  a  horizontal  reference 
surface  that  is  successively  placed  at  different  depths. 
The  no  motion  level  is  selected  so  that  the  net  mass  trans- 
ported across  an  ocean  section  is  zero.   This,  of  course, 
would  require  that  the  oceanographic  stations  span  an  entire 
vertical  cross  section  of  the  ocean  which  extends  from  shore 
to  shore.   Preferably  the  stations  should  be  taken  within  a 
reasonable  time  interval  to  ensure  the  data  are  synoptic. 

Jacobson  (1916)  advanced  the  idea  that  the  oxygen  mini- 
mum in  sea  water  corresponds  to  the  layer  with  minimum  hori- 
zontal water  motion.   Wust  (1935)  and  Dietrich  (1936)  developed 
the  idea  and  applied  it  in  practice;  it  is  known  as  Dietrich's 
method.   These  two  scientists  believed  that  oxygen  is  lost 
from  sea  water  as  a  result  of  oxidation  of  organic  matter 
except  in  a  thin  surface  layer.   It  was  reasoned  that  if  this 
oxidation  process  takes  place  at  all  levels,  due  to  biological 
processes,  then  the  minimum  oxygen  content  is  found  where 
the  replenishment  of  oxygen  by  horizontal  flow  is  at  a 
minimum  because  of  weak  motion. 

When  Dietrich  applied  his  method  to  compute  the  water 
transport  in  the  Gulf  Stream  from  the  sea  surface  to  the 
oxygen  minimum  layer,  his  computations  showed  that  the  water 
transport  for  the  counter  current  below  the  Gulf  Stream  was 
twice  the  amount  transferred  by  the  layer  above  the  oxygen 
minimum.   This  result  is  unrealistic  and  suggests  that  there 
are  serious  difficulties  with  determining  the  level  of  no 
motion  in  this  manner. 

15 


The  difficulty  is  underscored  by  Seiwell  (1937)  who 
examined  the  causes  for  minimum  oxygen  concentrations  at 
intermediate  depths  in  the  northwestern  part  of  the  Atlantic 
Ocean  and  found  that  the  minimum  is  a  result  of  the  ratio 
between  oxygen  supply  and  consumption.   In  his  studies ,  he 
examined  a  hypothetical  example  and  showed  that  the  oxygen 
minimum  does  not  necessarily  occur  at  a  level  of  minimal 
horizontal  motion. 

Parr  (1938)  tried  to  relate  the  vertical  current  veloc- 
ity distribution  to  the  disturbance  of  the  density  field. 
The  method  is  based  on  the  assumption  of  motion  along  iso- 
pycnal  surfaces  in  that  the  thickness  of  the  layer  bounded 
by  two  isopycnal  surfaces  cannot  remain  constant  in  the 
region  of  a  current.   In  other  words,  the  distance  between 
the  two  isopycnal  surfaces  varies  in  a  direction  perpendicu- 
lar to  the  direction  of  the  current.   If  the  distortion  of 
the  layer  between  two  isopycnal  surfaces  is  minimal,  or  no 
distortion  is  evident,  then  there  must  be  either  minimal 
water  movement  there  or  complete  lack  of  water  motion. 
Fomin  (1964)  pointed  out  that  an  undistorted  isopycnal  layer 
is  a  necessary  but  insufficient  condition  for  the  existence 
of  a  layer  of  no  motion  in  the  sea.   He  states,  "If  there 
is  a  layer  with  a  strong  vertical  pressure  gradient  at  inter- 
mediate depth,  then  the  Isopycnal  layers  will  be  least  dis- 
torted as  compared  with  the  overlying  and  underlying  layers 
in  the  presence  of  a  strong  gradient  current  in  this  layer."

In  areas  where  there  is  no  Intermediate  vertical  gradient 
maximum,  selection  of  an  undistorted  isopycnal  layer  is  a 
difficult  if  not  impossible  task. 

Another  method  for  determining  the  level  of  no  motion 
is  described  by  Stommel  (1956)  in  which  the  vertical  com- 
ponent of  velocity,  by  mass  conservation,  must  equal  that 
induced  at  the  bottom  of  the  frictional  layer  by  the  winds. 
He  determined  formally  the  specific  reference  level  at  which 
this  matching  occurs.   When  this  method  was  applied  to 
Atlantis  Stations  5203  (32°  00'N  63°  03'W)  and  5210 
(32°  00 'N  50°  4l'W),  the  depth  of  no  meridional  motion  was 
found  to  be  about  1500m.   As  stated  by  Stommel,  in  that 
location  this  was  very  nearly  the  depth  of  the  high-salinity 
anomaly  water  from  the  Mediterranean. 

Hidaka  (19^0)  used  the  fact  that  there  is  mutual  adjust- 
ment between  the  current  velocity  field  and  the  fields  of 
the  physical-chemical  properties  of  sea  water  to  develop  his 
method  for  determining  the  layer  of  no  motion.   The  method 
was  based  on  continuity  considerations  for  the  stationary 
distribution  of  certain  properties  of  oceanic  water  masses. 
If  a  triangle  of  three  oceanic  stations  is  considered,  at 
the  corners  of  the  triangle  there  are  three  vertical  and  two 
horizontal  planes  forming  the  boundaries  of  a  prism  extending 
throughout  the  water  column.   As  assumption  is  made  that  no 
gain  or  loss  occurs  through  the  stationary  surface  boundary 
and  that  the  sum  of  volume  transports  through  the  remaining 


17 


four  boundaries  must  equal  zero.   If  an  oceanic  property 
such  as  salinity  Is  considered,  then  the  sum  of  the  products 
of  salinity  and  volume  transports  through  each  boundary  must 
also  equal  zero. 

Hidaka  applied  his  method  to  the  four  triangles  formed 
by  four  oceanographic  stations  in  ah  attempt  to  find  a 
reference  level  for  the  conversion  of  relative  into  absolute 
dynamic  height  topography.   Hidaka' s  simplification  of  the 
condition  of  continuity,  and  the  fact  that  his  system  of 
equations  cannot  be  solved  with  the  existing  accuracy  of 
measurements  at  sea,  raised  objections  by  other  noted 
oceanographers . 

To  the  present,  the  most  practical  and  probably  the 
most  widely  used  method  is  that  developed  by  Defant  (19^1). 
While  examining  the  differences  in  the  dynamic  depths  of 
isobaric  surfaces  at  a  great  number  of  pairs  of  neighboring 
stations,  Defant  discovered  a  layer  of  relatively  great 
thickness  in  which  these  differences  changed  very  little 
along  the  vertical.   The  thickness  of  this  layer  in  the 
Atlantic  Ocean  ranges  from  300  to  800m;  its  depth  varies 
rather  uniformly  in  the  horizontal  direction,  and  the  change 
in  differences  in  the  dynamic  depths  of  isobaric  surfaces 
only  amounts  to  several  dynamic  millimeters.   Defant  assumes 
that  this  water  layer  is  almost  motionless  and  considers  it 
to  be  the  layer  directly  adjoining  the  "zero"  surface. 


18 


In  a  strict  sense,  Defant's  method  may  be  expressed  as 

ADA  =  ADB  (1) 

where  AD,  and  ADR  are  the  increments  in  dynamic  depths 

between  the  isobaric  surfaces  p„  and  p  ,,  at  stations  A 

n      n+1 

and  B.   This  states  that  the  differences  In  the  dynamic 
depths  of  isobaric  surfaces  at  some  depth  interval  are 
equal  at  two  neighboring  stations  A  and  B. 

As  pointed  out  by  Fomin  (1964),  it  is  doubtful  whether 
the  layer  with  similar  differences  can  be  identified  with 
the  layer  of  no  motion  when  the  current  computed  by  the 
dynamic  method  has  the  same  direction  above  and  below  the 
"zero"  layer. 

Jung  (1955)  emphasized  that  the  level  of  no  motion  is 
still  an  open  problem  although  the  Sverdrup  approach  appeared 
the  most  reasonable  solution.   He  recommended  that  the  problem 
be  investigated  further  when  sufficient  data  were  available.

III.   STATEMENT  OF  THE  PROBLEM 

This  study  consists  of  four  parts:   (1)  the  development 
of  a  program  for  the  IBM  360/67  computer  that  performs  the 
calculations  necessary  to  arrive  at  values  for  mass,  salt, 
and  heat  transport  across  a  section  of  the  ocean;  (2)  the 
evaluation  and  selection,  from  various  interpolation  schemes, 
of  the  one  which  performs  the  interpolation  to  standard 
depths  with  the  best  accuracy;  (3)  the  establishment  of  a 
reference  level  for  which  the  mass  and  salt  transports  equal 
zero  and,  based  on  this  reference  level,  (4)  the  computation 
of  the  transport  of  sensible  heat  by  the  ocean  currents 
across  the  selected  vertical  section. 

The  transfer  of  energy  through  a  vertical  cross  section 
of  the  ocean  is  accomplished  by  processes  such  as  large-scale 
advection,  smaller-scale  eddy  diffusion,  and  molecular  diffu- 
sion.  Large-scale  advection  is  the  principal  contributor  in 
determining  the  transfer  of  energy  while  eddy  and  molecular 
diffusion  contributions  are  several  orders  of  magnitude 
smaller.   Eddies  smaller  than  approximately  two  degrees  of 
longitude  have  been  neglected.   Molecular  diffusion  has  been 
neglected  entirely. 

Jung  (1952)  showed  that  the  transfer  of  all  forms  of 
energy  in  the  ocean  is  very  accurately  approximated  by  the 
transfer  of  thermal  energy  alone.   To  show  this  he  used 
Starr's  (1951)  general  equation  for  the  advective  energy 


20 


flux,  F,  across  any  section  of  fluid, 

,2 


F  =  /  (P  +  pcyT  -  pgZ  +  p^-)  Vn  dA        (2) 

XT. 


where  dA  represents  an  element  of  area  of  the  cross  section 
which  extends  along  a  latitude  circle  across  the  ocean  and 
from  the  surface  to  the  ocean  bottom,  P  is  pressure,  T  is 
absolute  temperature,  Z  is  vertical  distance  downward  from 
the  ocean  surface,  p  is  the  density,  c  is  the  specific  heat 
at  constant  volume  of  ocean  water,  g  is  the  acceleration  of 
gravity,  C  is  the  ocean  current  speed,  and  V  is  the  poleward 
component  of  velocity.   Assuming  hydrostatic  equilibrium 
in  the  vertical,  the  pressure  term,  P,  nearly  cancels  the 
potential  energy  term,  pgZ.   This  cancellation  would  be 
exact  for  the  case  of  uniform  density.   Further,  the  advec- 
tion  of  kinetic  energy  has  been  shown  to  be  several  orders 
of  magnitude  smaller  than  the  transport  of  internal  energy; 

thus,  upon  assuming  reasonable  values  of  C,  the  kinetic 

p 
energy  term  involving  C  /2 ,  can  be  neglected.   With  these 

simplifications,  (2)  can  be  written 


F  =   /pc  TV  dA  (3) 

A   v  n 


where  pc  TV  dA  closely  approximates  internal  energy  (heat 
transport)  and  determines  the  total  energy  flux  across  a 
vertical  cross  section  of  area  dA  within  the  ocean. 


21 


The  specific  heat  of  sea  water,  c  ,  is  assumed  to  have 
a  value  of  unity  with  the  introduction  of  an  error  of  less 
than  1%   for  depths  less  than  6000m  (see  Sverdrup  et  al., 
1942,  p.  62). 

Procedures  outlined  by  Sverdrup  et  al.  (1942,  pp. 
108-411  and  pp.  447-448)  are  used  to  determine  the  velocity 
estimates  in  this  study.   In  using  this  procedure,  one  must 
assume  geostrophic  balance  within  the  ocean.   Since  the 
cross  section  of  the  ocean  under  consideration  is  outside 
the  equatorial  region  and  only  large-scale  motion  is 
considered,  this  assumption  seems  to  be  valid  (Jung,  1955). 

Dynamic  heights  are  determined  by  standard  procedures 
and  then  used  to  compute  the  velocity  difference  between 
depths  1  and  2  in  a  region  between  pairs  of  stations  from 


V  -  V  =  — (D  -  D  )  (4) 

1    2    fl/  A    BJ  K    J 


where  f  is  the  Coriolis  parameter,  2^sin  <f>(fi  being  the 
angular  velocity  of  the  earth,  <J>  the  latitude  of  the  station), 
L  is  the  distance  between  stations  A  and  B,  and  D.  and  DR 
the  dynamic  heights  (depths)  at  the  two  stations. 

As  stated  previously,  it  is  necessary  to  establish  a 
level  of  no  motion  when  using  this  computational  procedure. 
In  this  study  the  two  criteria  which  must  be  satisfied  for 
the  determination  of  this  depth  are 


22 


/pV   dA  =  0  (5) 

A   n 


and 


fpSV     dA  =  0  (6) 

A    n 


where  S  is  the  salinity.   These  equations  assert  that  the 
net  transports  of  total  mass  and  salt  must  equal  zero  when 
computed  across  an  entire  latitude  section  of  the  ocean  of 
area  A. 

Having  used  these  criteria  to  establish  the  level  of 
no  motion,  a  value  is  obtained  for  the  heat  transported 
across  the  vertical  cross  section  by  ocean  currents.

IV.   PROCEDURE 

A.   DATA  SOURCES 

To  perform  the  calculations  described  in  the  preceding 
sections  one  needs  the  distribution  of  temperature  and 
salinity  over  the  vertical  cross  section  of  ocean  under 
investigation.   The  oceanographic  data  collected  during  the 
International  Geophysical  Year  provides  the  numerous  obser- 
vations of  temperature  and  salinity  required  for  the  compu- 
tation of  the  transports  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat  across  the 
vertical  cross  section  within  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean  at 
40°N. 

The  oceanographic  ship,  Crawford,  transited  the  North 
Atlantic  Ocean  along  40°N  from  2  to  22  October  1957,  occupying 
a  total  of  38  oceanographic  stations  with  observations  of 
temperature  and  salinity  being  collected  at  each  station. 
This  particular  transit  was  designated  Crawford  16,  stations 
218  to  255,  and  hereafter,  will  be  referred  to  only  by  these 
station  numbers. 

These  38  stations  extend  along  40°N  from  a  point  off  the 
New  Jersey  coast  to  a  point  off  the  coast  of  Spain  (see 
Figure  1).   The  maximum  distance  between  any  pair  of  stations 
is  170.93  km  or  approximately  two  degrees  of  longitude.   The 
horizontal  and  vertical  extent  of  the  data  coverage  of  the 
cross  section  is  shown  in  Figure  2.   Due  to  the  relatively 
short  period  of  time  in  which  the  data  were  collected,  it

at  40°N,  2-22  October  1957.   Dots  indicate  stations  occupied. 

is  assumed  that  the  data  are  completely  representative  of 
the  thermal  and  saline  distribution  occurring  that  October 
along  this  parallel  of  latitude. 

Even  though  the  temperature  and  salinity  data  collected 
by  Crawford  provides  considerable  coverage  for  this  cross 
section  of  ocean,  there  are  areas  along  this  parallel  for 
which  there  are  no  data  during  the  time  interval  of  the 
Crawford  cruise.   Two  of  these  regions  is  that  west  of  sta- 
tion 218  to  the  North  American  coast  and  that  east  of  station 
255  to  the  European  coast.   The  other  areas  lacking  data 
are  the  regions  between  the  deepest  Crawford  observations 
of  temperature  and  salinity  and  the  ocean  floor. 

The  largest  of  these  areas,  that  from  station  218  to  the 
New  Jersey  shore,  has  dimensions  of  489  km  in  the  horizontal 
by  165m  in  the  vertical  at  station  218  to  Om  at  the  New 
Jersey  shore .

26 


In  order  to  determine  the  relative  importance  of  the 
mass,  salt,  and  heat  transports  for  the  area  west  of  station 
218  it  was  necessary  to  arrive  at  reasonable  estimates  of 
the  average  density,  velocity,  temperature,  and  salinity 
for  this  area. 

The  average  temperatures  for  October  for  this  section 
were  taken  from  the  "Serial  Atlas  of  the  Marine  Environment." 
Values  of  the  average  October  temperatures  were  obtained  at 
one  degree  longitude  increments  from  4o°N,  69°W  to  40°N ,  74°W 
at  various  depths  ranging  from  0  to  330  feet.   These  monthly 
averages  were  then  averaged  again  to  obtain  a  single  space 
average  value  of  13.11°C. 

The  monthly  average  of  the  surface  current  velocity  was 
taken  from  the  "Pilot  Chart  of  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean"  for 
October  1973-   In  the  section  from  station  218  westward,  the 
surface  current  indicated  on  this  chart  is  in  a  southerly 
direction  with  a  velocity  of  25.7  cm/sec,  which  is  assumed 
to  approach  the  geostrophic  current  due  to  the  east-west 
orientation  of  the  entire  vertical  cross  section.   The  geo- 
strophic current  at  the  bottom  is  assumed  to  be  zero  and  an 
average  of  the  surface  current  and  the  bottom  current  is 
taken  to  arrive  at  a  single  average  value  of  12.85  cm/sec. 

The  average  value  for  the  salinity  of  this  section  was 
determined  from  the  work  of  Ketchum  and  Keen  (1955)  in  which 
they  used  depth  mean  salinities  to  show  a  seasonal  variation 
in  the  concentration  of  river  water  on  the  continental  shelf 


27 


between  Cape  Cod  and  Chesapeake  Bay.   In  this  study,  their 
winter  depth  mean  salinities  at  20,  30,  40,  and  100  fathoms 
are  averaged  to  arrive  at  the  value  of  33.175  ppt  for  the 
salinity  of  the  section  from  station  218  to  the  coast  of 
New  Jersey. 

An  estimated  average  density  value  of  1.02395  g/cm^ 
is  obtained  from  the  work  by  Howe  (1962).   This  value  is  an 
average  of  values  as  read  from  his  graph  of  Section  C, 
Figure  4. 

The  average  values  of  temperature,  salinity,  density, 
and  current  velocity  obtained  in  the  preceding  paragraphs 
are  used  to  compute  estimates  of  the  transport  of  mass, 
salt  content,  and  heat  in  that  part  of  the  vertical  cross 
section  westward  from  Crawford  station  218  to  the  New  Jersey 
shore. 

The  distance  from  station  255  to  the  coast  of  Spain  is 
67km  and  the  depth  of  the  water  is  less  than  150m.   There- 
fore, it  was  assumed  that  the  conditions  were  the  same  as 
those  between  stations  254  and  255.   With  this  assumption, 
it  was  possible  to  take  a  percentage  of  the  transports  of 
mass,  salt,  and  heat  between  stations  254  and  255  based  on 
the  area  eastward  of  station  255  to  the  area  between  stations 
254  and  255. 

The  procedure  for  obtaining  the  estimates  of  the  trans- 
ports of  mass,  salt,  and  heat  for  those  areas  near  the  ocean 
floor  is  described  in  a  later  section. 


28 


B.  DEVELOPMENT  OF  THE  COMPUTER  PROGRAM 

An  existing  computer  program,  held  by  the  Department  of 
Oceanography  of  the  U.S.  Naval  Postgraduate  School,  Monterey, 
California,  which  computes  absolute  current  velocities  and 
volume  transports  between  pairs  of  oceanographic  stations  was 
modified  so  as  to  compute  values  for  the  transport  of  mass, 
salt  content,  and  heat.   Additional  modifications  were  made 
to  allow  the  program  to  perform  the  necessary  summing  pro- 
cesses in  order  to  obtain  the  integrated  transports  for  each 
pair  of  stations,  and  the  net  transports  for  the  entire  cross 
section.   Also  the  program's  capacity  for  the  number  of 
standard  depths  and  stations  was  increased  from  24  to  48 
and  48  to  60,  respectively. 

A  copy  of  the  computer  program  is  included  in  Appendix  A. 

C.  SELECTION  OF  THE  INTERPOLATION  METHOD 

Since  the  observed  values  of  temperature  and  salinity 
at  each  station  must  be  interpolated  to  standard  depths  for 
computing  the  velocity  and  the  various  transports  in  the 
conventional  manner,  the  problem  of  selecting  an  interpola- 
tion scheme  which  comes  nearest  to  approximating  the  real 
ocean  distribution  of  temperature  and  salinity  is  of  major 
significance. 

A  comparison  was  made  of  four  interpolation  methods. 
These  methods  include  linear,  mean  linear-parabolic  ,  mean 


A  mean  linear-parabolic  interpolation  method  Is  a 
numerical  average  of  one  linear  plus  two  parabolic 
interpolations . 

29 


parabolic,  and  piecewise-cubic  polynomial  interpolation. 
The  comparison  was  accomplished  with  the  aid  of  computer 
plots  of  each  of  these  methods  at  each  of  the  38  Crawford 
stations.   Visual  comparison  of  the  actual  temperature  and 
salinity  profiles  with  the  interpolated  values  at  10m  incre- 
ments made  it  readily  apparent  that  no  one  method  was  satis- 
factory in  all  cases.   It  was  determined  that  some  combina- 
tion of  a  linear  and  a  higher  order  interpolation  method 
was  necessary  to  give  the  desired  results,  especially  when 
there  was  an  isothermal  layer  near  the  surface.   The  results 
of  the  comparison  of  the  four  different  interpolation 
methods  and  the  specific  interpolation  method  chosen  for  the 
rest  of  this  study  are  included  in  Section  V.A. 

D.   COMPUTATIONS  OF  VELOCITIES  AND  THE  TRANSPORTS  OF  MASS, 
SALT  CONTENT,  AND  HEAT 

With  the  assumption  of  geostrophic  balance  it  is  possible 
to  use  the  procedure  of  computing  dynamic  heights  so  as  to 
obtain  the  velocity  estimates  for  the  latitude  section. 
A  detailed  description  of  the  flow  of  computations  is  included 
in  the  following  paragraphs  to  aid  the  reader  in  understanding 
the  computer  program  in  Appendix  A,  and  the  exact  procedures 
used  in  obtaining  the  transport  values. 

The  data  from  Crawford  Cruise  16,  stations  218  to  255, 
are  at  various  depths  and  have  to  be  interpolated  to  standard 
depths.   This  is  accomplished  by  the  subroutine  "LGTP" 
(Appendix  A)  which  is  the  programmed  version  of  the  combination 


30 


linear  and  parabolic  mean  interpolation  method.   The  observed 
values  of  temperature  and  salinity  are  interpolated  to  the 
following  standard  depths:   0,  50,  100,  150,200,  250,  300, 
350,  400,  450,  500,  550,  600,  650,  700,  750,  800,  850,  900, 
950,  1000,  1050,  1100,  1150,  1200,  1250,  1300,  1400,  1500, 
1600,  1700,  1800,  1900,  2000,  2250,  2500,  2750,  3000,  3250, 
3500,  3750,  4000,  4250,  4500,  4750,  5000,  5250,  and  5500m. 

After  obtaining  the  interpolated  values  of  temperature 
and  salinity  at  the  standard  depths,  the  computer  subroutine 
"SGTSVA"  (Appendix  A)  is  called  to  compute  the  sigma-t, 
specific  volume  anomaly,  and  specific  volume  for  each 
standard  depth. 

With  the  specific  volume  anomaly  values  calculated  for 
each  standard  depth,  the  next  step  is  to  compute  the  dynamic 
heights,  D.   This  process  is  accomplished  in  the  main  com- 
puter program.   An  average  specific  volume  anomaly  between 
each  pair  of  standard  depths  for  each  station  is  computed 
according  to  the  following  equation: 


J  =      z     (z+Az)  /-n 


where  6  is  the  mean  specific  volume  anomaly,  and  6   and 

6,  , .  x  are  the  specific  volume  anomalies  at  the  standard 
(z+Az) 

depths,  z  and  z+Az,  respectively.   The  increments,  Az,  are 
in  standard  depth  increments  only. 

The  equivalent  of  an  integration  is  then  accomplished 
using: 


31 


AD  =  7[z-(z+Az)]  (8) 

where  AD  is  the  difference  in  the  dynamic  heights  (depths) 
between  the  standard  depths.   A  vertical  summation  of  the 
AD's  is  carried  out  for  each  station: 


lZQ   AD  =  D  (9) 


The  distance  L  between  stations  in  (*J)  is  computed  with 
use  of  the  computer  subroutine  "DSTSTA"  (Appendix  A)  using 
the  following  method.   The  length,  in  meters,  of  one  degree 
of  latitude  and  one  degree  of  longitude  for  each  station  is 
computed  using  the  equations  based  on  Clarke's  spheroid  of 
1866.   These  lengths  are  functions  of  the  latitude  and 
longitude  of  each  station.   The  two  values  for  one  degree 
of  latitude  are  averaged  as  are  the  two  values  for  one  degree 
of  longitude.   The  difference  in  the  latitudes  and  the 
difference  in  the  longitudes  of  the  two  stations  are 
computed.   The  differences  in  degrees  in  latitude  and 
longitude  of  the  pair  of  stations  are  multiplied  by  the 
average  values  for  the  length  of  one  degree  of  latitude  and 


p 

The  earth  is  approximately  an  oblate  spheroid  (a  sphere 

flattened  at  the  poles).   Its  dimensions  and  the  amount  of 
flattening  are  not  known  exactly,  but  the  values  determined 
by  the  English  geodesist  A.R.  Clarke  in  1866  as  defined  by 
U.S.  Coast  and  Geodetic  Survey  in  i860  are  used  for  charts

longitude,  respectively.   This  procedure  gives  two  sides  of 
a  right  triangle  and  the  third  side,  the  distance  L,  between 
the  two  stations,  can  be  obtained  by  the  use  of  the  Pythag- 
orean relation. 

The  use  of  the  Pythagorean  relation  to  obtain  the  third 
side  of  a  right  triangle  involves  a  flat  earth  assumption. 
This  assumption  seems  to  be  reasonable  since  the  maximum 
distance  between  any  pair  of  stations  is  170km. 

With  the  distance  L  computed,  the  computer  subroutine 
"GEOCUR"  (Appendix  A)  computes  the  relative  velocity  between 
pairs  of  stations  at  each  standard  depth  according  to  (4). 
The  relative  velocities  can  be  converted  to  absolute  veloci- 
ties by  setting  the  geostrophic  velocity  at  an  assumed  level 
of  no  motion  equal  to  zero.   The  computational  procedure 
used  for  determining  the  level  of  no  motion  from  (5)  and  (6) 
is  discussed  later  in  this  section. 

The  velocity  values  obtained  by  the  preceding  method 
represent  values  at  standard  depths  between  a  pair  of  sta- 
tions.  The  velocity  values  are  averaged  in  the  computer 
subroutine  "GEOCUR"  to  obtain  a  velocity  in  the  center  of 
an  area  bounded  by  the  two  stations  in  the  vertical  and  by  a 
pair  of  standard  depths  in  the  horizontal.   This  procedure 
(denoted  as  Step  1)  is  illustrated  in  Figure  3.

where  PSTp  is  density  at  a  particular  salinity,  temperature, 
and  pressure,  and  agTp  is  the  specific  volume  at  a  particular 
salinity,  temperature,  and  pressure. 

Since  density  is  computed  at  standard  depths  for  each 
station,  one  has  available  values  for  density  for  the  four 
corners  of  the  rectangular  area  described  in  a  preceding 
paragraph.   These  four  values  of  density  are  averaged  to 
obtain  a  value  of  average  density  compatible  with  the 
average  velocity  for  that  rectangular  area.   The  average 
values  of  temperature  and  salinity  are  obtained  in  the  same 
manner.   This  procedure,  illustrated  in  Figure  3,    is  accom- 
plished in  two  steps.   Step  2  is  carried  out  in  the  main  com- 
puter program  and  the  values  are  stored  in  a  matrix  array 
until  they  are  needed  by  the  computer  subroutine  "GEOCUR" 
where  Step  3  is  performed.   This  averaging  procedure  is  per- 
formed for  each  rectangular  area  formed  by  a  pair  of  stations 
and  a  pair  of  standard  depths  for  the  entire  vertical  cross 
section.   In  summary  then,  the  values  are  either  passed  to 
or  computed  in  the  subroutine  "GEOCUR"  for  each  rectangle  are 
the  area,  the  average  density,  the  average  velocity,  the 
average  temperature,  and  the  average  salinity.   The  product 
of  the  first  three  gives  the  mass  transport,  which  when 
multiplied  In  turn  by  each  of  the  remaining  averages  gives 
the  heat  transport  and  salt  transport  across  a  particular 
rectangular  area  of  the  vertical  cross  section. 


35 


The  transport  values  computed  for  each  rectangular  area 
are  summed  both  horizontally  and  vertically.   By  summing 
vertically  between  each  pair  of  stations,  one  obtains  values 
for  the  integrated  transports  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat  for 
that  pair  of  stations.   The  transport  values  between  each 
pair  of  standard  depths,  for  example  0  to  50m,  are  summed 
horizontally  to  give  the  net  transports  of  mass,  salt,  and 
heat  in  a  particular  layer  of  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean  at 
40°N.   These  layer  values  are  then  summed  vertically  to 
give  the  total  net  transports  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat  across 
the  entire  vertical  cross  section. 

This  process  is  accomplished  by  the  computer  program; 
an  example  of  the  method  is  shown  in  Figure  4.   Wherein 
it  is  understood  that  the  transports  of  mass,  salt,  and 
heat  have  been  computed  individually  for  each  of  the  rectan- 
gular areas  1  thru  9.   For  example;  the  sum  of  the  mass 
transports  for  the  rectangular  areas  1,  4,  and  7  gives  the 
integrated  mass  transport,  A,  between  the  pair  of  stations, 
218  and  219.   The  integrated  values  for  salt  and  heat  trans- 
port are  computed  for  each  pair  of  stations  in  the  same 
manner.   Similarly,  the  mass  transport  values  for  the  rectan- 
gular areas  1,  2,  and  3  gives  the  net  mass  transport,  B, 
for  the  layer  between  0  and  50m  extending  from  station  218 
to  station  221. 

The  computer  program  computes  the  transport  values  for 
each  pair  of  stations  down  to  the  deepest  standard  depth

common  to  both  stations.   Thus,  account  is  not  taken  for 
small  areas,  mentioned  previously,  of  ocean  near  the  bottom 
where  there  are  no  computed  values  for  the  transports.   The 
areas  in  question  are  represented  in  Figure  5  as  the  areas 
between  the  bottom  of  the  ocean  and  the  first  solid  line 
above  the  ocean  bottom.   The  solid  line  above  the  ocean 
bottom  indicates  the  deepest  depth  common  to  each  pair  of 
stations  for  which  the  transports  are  computed.   The  method 
for  obtaining  the  estimates  of  the  transports  for  these 


37 


triangles  or  quadrangles  Is  described  in  the  following 
paragraph. 

Values  of  temperature  and  salinity  were  extrapolated 
to  depths  deep  enough  to  cover  the  entire  water  area  between 
each  pair  of  stations.   In  some  cases  this  involved  an 
extrapolation  of  temperature  and  salinity  into  the  ocean 
floor  as  If  the  ocean  bottom  did  not  exist.   The  transport 
values  were  then  computed  via  the  computer  program  and  a 
percentage  value  of  the  water  area  to  the  total  area  present 
in  each  rectangle  was  multiplied  by  the  values  of  mass, 
salt,  and  heat  transports  for  each  rectangle.   After  this 
process  was  completed  for  each  of  the  triangles  or  quadran- 
gles, a  summation  was  carried  out  to  obtain  the  estimated 
net  transport  values  for  mass,  salt,  and  heat.   The  number 
of  areas  involved  is  illustrated  in  Figure  6.   It  is  recog- 
nized that  this  is  only  a  rough  estimate  due  to  the  fact 
that  the  bottom  is  not  smooth  and  orderly.   Once  these  values 
are  obtained  they  are  assumed  to  be  constant. 

Each  time  the  level  of  no  motion  is  varied  the  integrated 
transports  will  vary.   If  the  integrated  transports  are 
recorded  for  each  level  of  no  motion  for  each  pair  of  sta- 
tions, it  is  possible  to  determine  the  amount  of  change  in 
the  integrated  transports  for  a  change  in  the  level  of  no 
motion.   For  example,  the  integrated  transports  are  recorded 
for  the  pair  of  stations,  235-236,  with  the  level  of  no  motion 
set  at  1000m  and  then  at  1050m.   The  difference  between  the

transport  figures  is  the  amount  of  change  when  the  level 
of  no  motion  is  shifted  from  1000m  to  1050m. 

The  above  procedure  is  used  only  for  Crawford  stations 
222  to  253-   The  shaded  areas  in  Figure  6  along  the  conti- 
nental slope  of  both  the  United  States  and  European  coasts 
are  considered  to  have  negligible  transports  of  mass,  salt, 
and  heat. 

To  show  that  the  mass  and  salt  balance  obtained  with  the 
inclusion  of  the  mass  and  salt  transport  estimates  in  the 
areas  for  which  there  are  no  actual  data,  causes  only  slight 
variations  in  the  level  of  no  motion  obtained  by  a  mass  and 
salt  balances  based  only  on  Crawford  data,  the  following 
procedure  was  adopted.   First  a  level  of  no  motion  was 
determined  by  balancing  the  mass  and  salt  transports  across 
the  portion  of  the  vertical  cross  section  covered  by  the 
Crawford  data  only,  i.e.,  all  areas  not  covered  by  Crawford 
data  were  neglected.   Next  a  level  of  no  motion  was  deter- 
mined by  balancing  the  mass  and  salt  transports  across  the 
vertical  cross  section  which  included  those  estimates  of  the 
transports  of  mass  and  salt  for  the  areas  not  covered  by 
Crawford  data.   If  the  level  of  no  motion  obtained  by  the 
first  approach  agreed  reasonably  well  with  the  level  of  no 
motion  obtained  in  the  second  approach,  it  was  assumed  that 
the  level  of  no  motion  obtained  from  Crawford  data  only  was 
the  best  approximation  of  the  level  of  no  motion  for  this 
cross  section  of  ocean  since  It  was  based  on  actual  data. 


42 


The  level  of  no  motion  was  determined  by  balancing  the 
mass  and  salt  transports  across  the  entire  vertical  cross 
section.   This  is  accomplished  by  setting  a  constant  level 
of  no  motion  equal  to  a  standard  depth  into  the  computer 
program,  for  all  pairs  of  stations  and  computing  the  net 
transports  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat  for  the  entire  cross 
section  of  the  ocean.   This  procedure  was  repeated  for  a 
different  standard  depth  until  the  net  transports  of  mass 
and  salt  change  sign.   In  this  particular  computer  program 
positive  values  indicate  northward  movement  and  negative 
values  southward  movement.   If  a  level  of  no  motion  speci- 
fied for  any  particular  pair  of  stations  was  deeper  than  the 
data  for  the  two  stations,  the  program  automatically  used 
the  deepest  level  common  to  both  stations. 

Once  the  net  transports  of  mass  and  salt  have  changed 
sign,  the  level  of  no  motion  is  varied  (by  hand)  for  pairs 
of  stations  until  a  balance  of  the  mass  and  salt  transports 
is  achieved  for  the  entire  vertical  cross  section  of  the 
North  Atlantic  Ocean  at  40°N.

V.   DISCUSSION  OF  RESULTS 

A.   COMPARISON  OF  VARIOUS  INTERPOLATION  METHODS 

It  was  not  until  this  work  was  completed  that  the  work 
of  Borkowski  and  Goulet  (1971)  was  discovered.   They  recom- 
mend the  use  of  linear  interpolation  at  the  top  and  bottom 
of  the  profile  and  mean  parabolic  interpolation  otherwise. 
This  recommendation  came  as  a  result  of  a  comparison  of  ten 
different  interpolation  methods  with  values  obtained  from 
an  in  situ  STD  (salinity-temperature-depth)  recorder. 

The  same  conclusion  was  drawn  by  the  author  after  making 
a  comparison  of  four  different  interpolation  methods  at  each 
of  the  38  Crawford  stations.   While  comparing  these  four 
interpolation  methods,  it  became  apparent  that  two  problem 
areas  existed.   The  first  problem  area  is  at  stations  that 
have  an  isothermal  layer  near  the  surface;  the  second  problem 
area  exists  at  all  stations  that  exhibit  a  permanent  thermo- 
cline.   As  a  general  rule,  higher  order  interpolation  methods 
overestimate  the  temperatures  in  the  isothermal  layer  while 
the  linear  interpolation  method  overestimates  the  temperatures 
in  certain  areas  of  the  permanent  thermocline. 

Crawford  Station  221  is  specifically  singled  out  for 
illustration  of  the  comparison  process  due  to  the  indications 
of  the  isothermal  layer  at  the  surface  and  the  steep  thermo- 
cline below  this  layer.   Figures  7,  8,  9,  and  10  are  computer 
plots  of  the  vertical  temperature  profile  for  this  station. 


W 


The  crosses  represent  the  observed  values  of  temperature 
while  the  continuous  line  represents  values  of  temperature 
interpolated  at  every  10m  using  the  various  interpolation 
methods. 

Figure  7  is  a  plot  of  the  linear  interpolation  method. 
This  method  provides  satisfactory  interpolated  values  for 
the  isothermal  layer  between  the  surface  and  the  2nd  observed 
values  in  Figure  7,  but  does  not  give  as  good  an  approxima- 
tion of  the  temperature  distribution  as  some  of  the  other 
interpolation  methods  in  the  area  of  the  3rd,  4th,  and  5th 
observed  temperature  values. 

Figure  8  is  a  plot  of  the  mean  linear-parabolic  inter- 
polation method.   This  interpolation  method  is  a  numerical 
average  of  the  combination  of  two  parabolic  interpolations 
plus  one  linear  interpolation  for  a  specific  standard  depth. 
One  of  the  three-point  parabolic  interpolations  includes 
the  observed  values  two  depths  above  and  the  observed  value 
one  depth  below  the  standard  depth.   The  other  three-point 
parabolic  interpolation  includes  the  observed  value  one 
depth  above  and  the  observed  values  two  depths  below  the 
standard  depth.   It  is  obvious  from  the  plot  that  this  inter- 
polation method  does  not  provide  satisfactory  values  for 
temperature  in  the  region  of  the  isothermal  layer  between 
the  surface  and  the  2nd  observed  temperature  value. 

In  Figure  9,  a  piecewise-cubic  polynomial  interpolation 
method  is  shown.   This  interpolation  method  tends  to  produce 


45 


even  higher  values  of  temperature  in  the  isothermal  layer, 
plus  a  slight  exaggeration  of  the  profile  between  the  3rd, 
4th,  and  5th  observed  temperature  values.   Another  disadvan- 
tage of  the  piecewise-cubic  polynomial  interpolation  is  that 
it  requires  more  computer  time  than  the  other  interpolation 
methods . 

The  interpolation  method  finally  adopted  for  use  in  this 
research  is  a  combination  of  linear  interpolation  between 
the  first  two  observed  values  and  the  last  two  observed 
values  with  a  mean  parabolic  interpolation  method  for  the 
rest  of  the  profile.   The  mean  parabolic  interpolation  was 
used  because  the  work  by  Borkowski  and  Goulet  (1971)  showed, 
by  statistical  means,  that  the  mean  parabolic  interpolation 
method  was  more  accurate  in  the  nonlinear  portion  of  the 
profile.   This  method  is  illustrated  in  Figure  10. 

A  comparison  of  the  previously  discussed  interpolation 
methods.,  with  the  exception  of  the  piecewise-cubic  polynomial 
interpolation  method,  is  made  to  determine  the  effect  of  the 
interpolation  method  on  the  net  transports  of  mass,  salt 
content,  and  heat  across  the  entire  vertical  cross  section. 
If  the  level  of  no  motion  is  held  constant  then  variation 
in  the  transport  values  is  entirely  due  to  the  different 
interpolated  values  of  temperature  and  salinity  as  obtained 
by  the  different  interpolation  methods. 

As  can  be  seen  from  Table  I,  there  is  a  considerable 
difference  in  the  magnitude  of  the  transports  computed  by

the  linear  interpolation  method  when  compared  with  the  other 
two.   One  explanation  for  this  difference  can  be  traced  to 
the  observations  of  temperature  and  salinity  which  are  missing 
between  the  depths  of  200m  and  1295m  at  Crawford  Station  220. 
The  other  37  stations  have  observations  of  temperature  and 
salinity  in  this  depth  region  at  approximately  100m  incre- 
ments; therefore,  the  use  of  the  linear  interpolation  method 
would  not  have  as  drastic  an  effect  at  these  stations.   The 
cause  for  the  large  variation  is  illustrated  in  Figure  10. 
Assume  that  the  observations  of  temperature  and  salinity 
are  missing  between  the  5th  and  13th  observations  for  station 
221,  and  that  one  is  using  the  linear  interpolation  method. 
The  line  drawn  in  Figure  10  illustrates  the  resulting  linear 
interpolation  for  this  region.   Higher  temperatures  at  the 
standard  depths  would  be  obtained  and  these  values,  coupled 
with  large  negative  velocities,  would  account  for  the  large 
deviation  in  the  transport  values  obtained  by  this  method. 
In  this  case,  the  mean  parabolic  interpolation  method  would 
more  closely  approximate  the  actual  temperature  distribution 
expected  in  this  region. 

B.   LEVEL  OF  NO  MOTION 

The  determination  of  the  level  of  no  motion  for  the  entire 
vertical  cross  section  requires  that  net  transports  of  mass 
and  salt  across  that  section  be  equal  to  zero.   The  level  of 
no  motion  for  each  pair  of  stations  based  solely  on  Crawford 
data  is  listed  in  Table  II.   This  level  of  no  motion  is  based

upon  the  balance  of  the  integrated  mass  and  salt  transports 
shown  In  Table  III. 

The  sums  of  the  different  columns  represent  the  net 
transports  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat  across  the  entire  vertical 
cross  section.   The  near  balance  of  the  mass  and  salt  trans- 
port columns  represents  an  attempt  to  balance  both  of  these 
simultaneously.   It  should  be  noted  that  the  balance  of 
either  one  is  not  equal  to  zero  exactly.   If  one  rounds  each 

of  the  integrated  mass  and  salt  transports  to  the  nearest 

12 
whole  number  x  10   then  the  salt  transport  balance  is  off 

12 

by  +1  x  10   while  the  mass  transport  balance  is  off  by 

12 
-1  x  10   from  an  exact  balance.   The  balance  in  Table  III 

represents  a  compromise  between  the  best  mass  balance  and 

the  best  salt  balance.   If  one  attempts  to  balance  only  the 

salt  transport  while  ignoring  the  mass  balance  then  it  is 

possible  to  make  the  net  salt  transport  value  in  Table  III 

closer  to  zero.   The  opposite  is  true  if  the  mass  transport 

is  balanced  without  regard  for  the  salt  balance.   When  this 

is  done  the  variation  in  the  level  of  no  motion  is  only  50m 

at  three  pairs  of  stations. 

The  second  approach  in  determining  the  level  of  no 

motion  was  to  assume  that  the  mass  and  salt  transports  of 

the  areas  neglected  in  the  first  approach  were  significant. 

Once  the  estimates  for  the  transports  of  mass,  salt,  and 

heat  were  obtained  for  these  areas,  the  level  of  no  motion 

was  varied  between  pairs  of  stations  until  a  balance  of  the

mass  transport  occurred.   It  turns  out  that  the  level  of  no 
motion  has  to  be  varied  at  only  7  pairs  out  of  37  pairs  of 
stations,  the  maximum  variation  at  any  one  pair  of  stations 
being  100m.   The  new  levels  of  no  motion  for  the  7  pairs  of 
stations  are  shown  in  Table  II  in  parentheses. 

A  comparison  of  the  level  of  no  motion  obtained  by  both 
approaches  is  shown  in  Figure  11.   The  solid  line  indicates 
the  level  of  no  motion  established  with  the  first  assumption: 
that  the  areas  west  of  station  218,  east  of  station  255,  and 
near  the  ocean  floor  make  negligible  contributions  to  the 
transport  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat.   The  dashed  line  indicates 
the  variations  to  this  level  of  no  motion  when  making  the 
opposite  assumption.   It  can  be  seen  from  either  Figure  11 
or  Table  II  that  the  maximum  variation  in  the  level  of  no 
motion  using  either  assumption  is  100m,  which  occurs  at  two 
pairs  of  stations,  226-227  and  229-230.   This  would  indicate 
that  the  level  of  no  motion  determined  solely  from  actual 
Crawford  data  is  a  good  approximation. 

Table  IV  shows  the  magnitude  of  the  estimates  for  the 
various  transports  in  those  areas  not  covered  by  Crawford 
data.   The  estimates  in  the  fourth  line  of  Table  IV  are  the 
estimates  obtained  from  the  computer  program  when  the  level 
of  no  motion  is  varied  to  achieve  a  mass  balance  for  the 
entire  cross  section  with  those  areas  not  covered  by  Crawford 
data  included.   By  summing  each  column  in  Table  IV,  one 
obtains  the  net  transports  across  the  entire  vertical  cross 
section  of  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean.

An  attempt  to  balance  only  the  mass  transport  was  under- 
taken since  it  was  felt  there  was  less  chance  of  error  in 
the  estimates  of  density  than  those  of  salinity.   The  values 
of  salinity  in  the  region  from  Crawford  station  218  to  the 
United  States  coast  are  highly  variable  due  to  considerable 
river  runoff  from  the  Hudson  and  Delaware  Rivers.   It  is 
important  to  understand  that  various  transports  of  mass, 
salt,  and  heat  obtained  for  those  areas  not  covered  by 
Crawford  data  are  very  rough  estimates  and  that  there  is  no 
way  of  checking  their  validity.   The  comparison  of  the  two 
levels  of  no  motion  in  Figure  11  shows  that  there  is  very 
little  variation  resulting  from  the  two  different  approaches. 
A  comparison  of  the  results  in  Tables  III  and  IV  shows  there 
is  also  very  little  resulting  variation  in  the  net  heat 
transport  values  for  the  vertical  cross  section.   Since  by 
comparison  of  the  two  approaches,  one  obtains  approximately 
the  same  results,  the  level  of  no  motion  obtained  by  using 
only  the  Crawford  data  is  the  one  upon  which  the  rest  of 
this  work  is  based. 

Table  V  shows  the  effect  on  the  balance  of  mass  and 
salt  transports,  and  the  net  transport  of  heat  by  varying 
the  level  of  no  motion  for  each  pair  of  stations  50m  either 
side  of  the  presently  established  level  of  no  motion.   The 
level  of  no  motion  is  not  varied  between  stations  218-219, 
219-220,  and  25^-255  because  of  their  shallow  depths;  It  is 
assumed  that  the  level  of  no  motion  Is  located  at  the  ocean

floor  for  these  stations.   The  differences  in  the  transports 
are  considerable  thus  providing  additional  evidence  that  the 
level  of  no  motion  obtained  in  this  study  lies  somewhere  in 
between  these  limits. 

C.   VELOCITIES 

Within  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean  at  latitude  40°N  the 
Gulf  Stream  Current  System  begins  to  meander  and  is  generally 
considered  to  have  a  west  to  east  flow.   It  is  also  a  region 
where  the  system  begins  to  diffuse;  and  the  surface  current 
velocities  are  generally  recognized  as  gradually  becoming 
weaker  as  one  proceeds  from  west  to  east. 

Geostrophic  velocities  were  computed  for  every  standard 
depth  that  is  common  to  a  pair  of  stations.   The  geostrophic 
velocities  between  each  pair  of  stations  at  0,  1000,  2000, 
3000,  and  4 000m  are  shown  in  Figures  12,  13,  14,  15,  and  16 
respectively. 

The  maximum  surface  geostrophic  velocities  occur  between 
stations  226-227  and  227-228:   44.18  cm/sec  in  the  northward 
direction  and  -48.45  cm/sec  where  the  minus  sign  indicates 
southward  flow,  respectively.   This  is  probably  related  to 
a  meander  of  the  Gulf  Stream  Current  that  crosses  40°N.   The 
water  temperatures  in  this  region  are  higher  than  the 
surrounding  water  temperatures  which  is  a  further  indication 
that  these  velocities  can  be  associated  with  the  Gulf  Stream. 

Fuglister  (1964)  showed  the  path  of  the  Gulf  Stream  in 
the  vicinity  of  40°M  to  be  complex  (see  Figure  17).   The

218  to  255.   Positive  velocity  values  represent  a  northward 
flowing  current  while  negative  values  represent  southward 
flow.   The  solid  arrows  represent  velocities  computed  from 
the  level  of  no  motion  based  only  on  Crawford  data.)

current  measurements  in  his  study  were  obtained  with  the 
use  of  a  GEK  during  2  April  to  15  June  i960.   A  comparison 
of  Figures  12  and  17  indicates  some  similarities  in  the 
north-south  pattern  of  the  Gulf  Stream  even  though  his 
measurements  were  taken  in  a  different  season  and  year  than 
those  of  this  study.   His  i960  study  was  chosen  for  comparison 
because  it  happens  to  be  nearer  to  the  time  that  the  IGY 
data  were  collected. 

One  major  difference  between  his  current  pattern  and 
the  one  obtained  in  this  study  is  the  presence  of  the  large 
meander  shown  in  his  pattern  between  6o°W  and  6.3°W.   The 
path  of  the  Gulf  Stream  plotted  from  various  cruises  conducted 
in  19^7,  19^8,  1950,  and  i960  shows  a  quasi-stationary  pattern 
with  an  abrupt  change  near  62°W.   Some  years  this  meander 
crosses  40°N  and  in  others,  it  does  not.   According  to 
Fuglister,  this  sudden  change  in  the  pattern  of  meanders  is 
a  permanent  feature  of  the  Gulf  Stream. 

The  geostrophic  velocities  below  the  level  of  no  motion 
as  determined  in  this  study  are  shown  in  Figures  lk ,    15,    and 
16.   The  maximum  geostrophic  velocity  of  about  +7  cm/sec 
below  the  level  of  no  motion  occurs  at  a  depth  of  ^000m 
between  stations  236  and  237.   In  most  cases,  for  this 
vertical  cross  section  of  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean,  the  deep 
ocean  velocities  are  less  than  3  cm/sec  for  the  areas  below 
the  level  of  no  motion.   In  general,  the  stronger  geostrophic 
velocities  at  depth  can  be  associated  with  the  stronger 
velocities  at  the  surface. 


69 


The  weak  geostrophic  velocities  below  the  level  of  no 
motion  could  be  another  indication  that  the  level  for  this 
cross  section  of  ocean  has  been  chosen  properly. 

D.   TRANSPORTS  OF  MASS,  SALT,  AND  HEAT 

The  integrated  transports  of  mass,  salt,  and  heat  for 
each  pair  of  stations  are  shown  in  Figures  18,  19,  and  20, 
respectively.   These  figures  closely  resemble  the  geostrophic 
velocity  figures  since  the  transports  are  directly  related  to 
the  velocity.   One  item  to  note  in  Figures  18  and  19  is  that 
the  transports  of  mass  and  salt  for  one  pair  of  stations 
tends  to  be  balanced  by  another  pair  of  stations  in  close 
proximity.   For  example,  in  Figure  18,  the  integrated  north- 
ward mass  transport  value  for  stations  226  to  227  tends  to 
be  balanced  by  the  integrated  southern  mass  transport  value 
for  stations  227  to  228. 

This  is  in  conformity  with  the  assertion  of  Sverdrup 
et  al .  (19^2):   "If  the  section  is  taken  across  an  ocean, 
the  mass  transport  to  the  north  must  equal  the  mass  transport 
to  the  south  but  the  heat  transport  may  differ  because  the 
temperature  of  the  water  transported  in  one  direction  may  be 
higher  or  lower  than  that  of  the  water  which  is  transported 
in  the  opposite  direction." 

Two  methods  are  available  for  measuring  the  meridional 
heat  transport  in  the  oceans.   Heat  balance  computations  are 
used  in  one  method.   The  addition  of  geothermal  heat  through 
the  ocean  floor  is  relatively  small,  and  the  heat  transport

can  be  computed  from  the  distribution  of  heat  sources  and 
sinks  at  the  surface.   The  second  method  consists  of  direct 
computation  based  on  measurements  of  velocity  and  temperature. 

Sverdrup's  heat  transport  estimates  were  obtained  by 
utilization  of  the  first  method.   Budyko  constructed  maps 
of  the  heat  balance  for  the  entire  earth's  surface  from 
which  he  obtained  his  estimates.   Jung  (1955)  utilized  the 
second  approach  based  on  data  from  the  Meteor  expedition 
and  The  Naval  Hydrographic  Office.   Bryan  (1962)  used  a 
completely  independent  method  based  on  geostrophic  calcula- 
tions from  hydrographic  data,  measuring  the  integral  of 
covariance  of  the  meridional  velocity  and  temperature  of  an 
entire  vertical  section  across  an  ocean  basin.   This  method 
included  the  division  of  the  heat  transport  into  two  parts. 
One  part  is  calculated  from  hydrographic  data  alone  and  is 
independent  of  the  level  of  no  motion.   The  other  part  of 
the  integral  does  contain  information  about  the  level  of  no 
motion,  and  is  calculated  from  the  field  of  surface  wind 
stress . 

A  comparison  of  the  heat  transport  values  determined  in 
this  study  is  made  in  Table  VI  with  the  values  obtained  by 
Jung,  Budyko,  Sverdrup  and  Byran.   Of  note  is  the  discrepancy 
between  the  author's  value  and  that  determined  by  Bryan.   Both 
studies  for  this  cross  section  are  based  on  the  same  IGY 
data,  but  the  methods  are  different.   The  only  explanation 
for  the  discrepancy  Is  that  Bryan's  method  is  limited  by  the 
existing  knowledge  of  the  distribution  of  the  wind  stress.

The  methods  of  Sverdrup  and  Budyko  eliminated  seasonal 
effects  by  using  annual  heat  balance  computations  while  Jung 
eliminated  them  by  averaging  all  data  for  the  cross  section. 
Since  the  data  used  in  the  present  study  were  collected 
during  one  month,  it  should  reflect  a  seasonal  variation  if 
one  exists;  therefore,  there  is  no  reason  why  the  values  of 
Sverdrup,  Budyko,  and  Jung  should  compare  favorably. 
However,  due  to  the  favorable  comparison  of  author's 
heat  transport  value  with  those  obtained  by  Sverdrup,  Budyko, 
and  Jung,  it  might  be  suggested  that  the  meridional  transport 
of  heat  for  this  cross  section  of  ocean  is  quasi-stationary. 

E.   WATER  MASSES  AND  THEIR  RELATIVE  LOCATION 
TO  THE  LEVEL  OF  NO  MOTION 

Figure  21  is  a  representation  of  the  distribution  of  the 
water  masses  present  at  40°N  within  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean 
The  basis  for  this  figure  are  the  T-S  diagrams  of  Crawford 
stations  218-255  included  as  Appendix  B.   The  horizontal 
discontinuous  line  through  Regions  III  and  IV  represents 
the  level  of  no  motion  as  determined  by  the  balance  of  mass 
and  salt  transports  through  the  vertical  cross  section. 

Sverdrup  et  al.  (19*12)  defined  the  North  Atlantic  Central 
Water  (Region  II)  as  water  that  is  characterized  by  a  nearly 
straight  T-S  curve  between  the  points  T=8°C,  S=35.10  ppt , 
and  T=19°C,  S=36.70  ppt,  and  North  Atlantic  Deep  and  Bottom 
Water  (Region  V)  as  characterized  by  temperatures  between 
3.5°C  and  2.2°C,  and  salinities  between  3^-97  and  3^-90  ppt. 


76 


According  to  Sverdrup,  between  these  two  typical  water  masses 
are  found  other  water  masses,  most  of  which  have  not  been 
formed  in  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean  but  which  exercise  a 
considerable  influence  upon  the  distribution  of  temperature 
and  salinity  at  mid-depths.  . 

The  regions  depicted  as  II  and  V  in  Figure  21  represent 
the  area  for  which  values  of  temperature  and  salinity  fall 
within  the  limits  defined  by  Sverdrup  for  the  North  Atlantic 
Central  Water  and  the  Deep  and  Bottom  Water. 

Region  I  represents  the  surface  area  that  experiences 
highly  variable  temperatures  and  salinities  due  to  evapora- 
tion and  precipitation.   Regions  III  and  IV  represent  areas 
where  the  temperatures  and  salinities  fall  outside  the  limits 
that  define  the  North  Atlantic  Central,  and  Deep  and  Bottom 
water  masses.   The  reason  for  dividing  this  intermediate 
water  region  into  two  areas  is  that  a  good  portion  of  it  is 
affected  by  the  high  temperature  and  high  salinity  water  of 
the  Mediterranean  Sea,  Region  III  representing  the  Mediter- 
ranean influence.   The  limits  of  the  region  were  determined 
from  the  T-S  diagrams  in  Appendix  B.   While  it  Is  understood 
that  the  limits  of  the  region  can  not  be  defined  precisely 
by  this  method,  it  does  give  a  good  relative  picture  of  the 
influence  of  the  Mediterranean  water  at  this  particular 
latitudinal  cross  section.   The  asterisks  indicate  the 
salinity  maximum  determined  from  the  T-S  diagrams.

Region  IV  is  the  intermediate  water  area  that  falls 
outside  the  limits  of  the  North  Atlantic  Central,  and  Deep 
and  Bottom  water  masses,  and  shows  no  influence  of  the 
Mediterranean  water.   There  is  a  slight  indication  of  the 
presence  of  Arctic  Intermediate  Water  in  the  T-S  diagrams 
for  Crawford  stations  236,  231,  227,  222,  and  220;  but  this 
is  not  indicated  in  Figure  21.   Regions  III  and  IV  could 
probably  be  more  appropriately  described  as  the  areas  where 
more  than  two  water  masses  are  mixed  and  are  represented  on 
a  T-S  diagram  as  the  nonlinear  portion  that  lies  between  the 
North  Atlantic  Central  and  the  Deep  and  Bottom  water  masses 
of  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean. 

As  can  be  seen  from  Figure  21,  the  level  of  no  motion 
lies  in  the  intermediate  water  regions.  III  and  IV.   These 
regions  probably  represent  areas  of  considerable  vertical 
mixing  vice  lateral  mixing  since  the  level  of  no  motion 
established  in  these  areas  requires  no  horizontal  water 
movement.   Weak  horizontal  velocities  would  be  prevalent  in 
the  close  proximity  of  this  level.   The  author  knows  no 
reason  why  the  level  of  no  motion  should  fall  in  this  region 
except  that  this  is  where  the  balance  of  the  transports  of 
mass  and  salt  occurs.

VI.   CONCLUSIONS  AND  RECOMMENDATIONS 

This  study  represents  the  first  attempt  to  determine 
mass,  salt,  and  heat  transports  based  strictly  upon  the 
dynamic  method  from  data  which  are  completely  homogeneous 
and  consistent.   The  results  indicate  that  the  transport 
of  heat  is  quasi-stationary;  but   this  requires  additional 
investigation  based  upon  data  taken  during  different  seasons. 
Agreement  between  the  heat  transport  of  this  study  and  those 
of  other  authors  is  surprisingly  good  even  though  the  methods 
and  the  data  were  completely  different. 

A  level  of  no  motion  has  been  determined  that  gives  a 
reasonable  geostrophic  velocity  picture  for  the  entire  cross 
section.   It  was  further  established  that  this  level  is  net 
necessarily  related  to  any  characteristic  of  the  water  nor 
to  a  specific  water  mass  and  is  shown  to  lie  in  a  region 
where  the  water  masses  appear  to  have  been  thoroughly  mixed. 

The  volume  of  calculations  for  this  type  of  study  can  be 
accommodated  easily  with  the  aid  of  high  speed  computers. 
Through  the  use  of  the  computer  program  in  Appendix  A,  the 
remainder  of  the  IGY  data  at  other  latitudinal  cross 
sections  of  the  North  Atlantic  Ocean  can  be  used  to  piece 
together  a  complete  picture  of  the  heat  transport.   Not  only 
can  the  heat  transport  picture  be  established  in  the  North 
Atlantic,  but  in  other  oceans  as  well.   Furthermore,  the 


81 


velocity  picture  and  the  level  of  no  motion  can  be  established 
where  there  are  latitudinal  cross  sections  with  data  such  as 
the  data  collected  during  the  IGY.
